"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Anything that is intermittent and stressful. Intense fasting, intense exercising, basically anything that tests and exercises your stress response and then having rest periods in between. Chronic stress actually does the opposite of what you are looking for, it actually makes you less vigorous and you learn helplessness.

Hi Eli,
" What books articles exercises can you recommend for anything regarding mental toughness"....No Substitute for Lifes Hard Knocks!
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Classic martial arts training is a decent path to learn this. I don't know much about the newer styles, but the old styles will result in increased strength of will and an increased perception of the magnitude of any task.

Often times military men will be mentally tough if they have not been broken. So that is another path to this topic.

Mentally tough with women, only self-respect will do it. No reading alone can protect from the emotional attack of a woman.

Beating addiction, fear, love, or death. No reading can do it. Only an emotion stronger than the addition can crush it.

Mental toughness is just how far you're willing to go in order to achieve a certain outcome. You can mess up, but it's all about getting back up, learning from your mistakes, and doing it again and again. When it comes to success, it only really needs to work once.

I'll be leaving the internet for a little while, I need to get my life in proper order which is why I chose this thread. Stay strong, guys.
